On February 21st, the 4th Street South Flood Protection project won its third award when Chapter 4 of the North Dakota Society of Professional Engineers (NDSPE) presented HEI with the Outstanding Engineering Design Award. 

The annual award recognizes an outstanding design project of an NDSPE-affiliated firm that demonstrates exeptional engineering design, innovation, originality, functionality, and overall achievement in overcoming challenges and meeting client satisfaction.

About the Project

The project's success means that residents in the 4th Street South Fargo neighborhood can continue relying on the certified flood protection to reduce the likelihood for future emergency flood fighting efforts. This project also keeps properties out of the floodplain, protecting residents from paying flood insurance, which saves them hundreds of dollars per year.
